Her exercise has clearly taken a toll, however, as she has posted how she has needed relaxing baths and chill out time by the pool to recuperate.

“Soakin' dem aches away,” Vicky wrote as she showed herself laying in a bathtub.

“When your body tells you to have a day off,” she wrote on another photo showing her next to a swimming pool – and proving the old adage, no pain, no gain, when it comes to exercise.

Earlier in the week Vicky told fans she intended to get back into the best shape of her life, sharing a throwback photo of herself with washboard abs and writing: "if you see me looking particularly buff, toned and slim- don’t be alarmed... I’m just getting what I came forrrrrr! Operation summer bod (bit late) but starts NOW!"

In the past, Vicky has positioned herself as something of a champion for women who want to celebrate their bodies however they are.
“Everyone has a right to work out, be on holiday in a bikini or do whatever they want without having people criticise the way they look," she told Fabulous magazine last year.

“I don’t want it to affect girls. I don’t want lasses to think for a second that all they have to offer is how good they look in a bikini. We’re funny, strong, we raise children and we work harder than men. We do all these things, and I’m not going to be judged on the way I look in one picture, not a chance,” she added.
